Held The Big East Scoring Record For 25 Years!! LAWRENCE MOTEN! What Stunted His Growth?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- What happened to Lawrence Moten? In the 90s he was the BEST scorer in the country over his time in college. He had that old school game that was perfect for the college level, but not so much for the NBA. Why not? How did he go from leading the big east in scoring to lasting just 3 seasons in the league?

Is Lawrence Moten a basketball Legend in your book? www.stuntedgrowth3.com
Dude was nice in college! I remember him so yes he is a legend in my eyes!
Yes.
I would say he was a 90s college basketball legend IMO. He had that laid back cool style of play ,he kinda reminded me of an even older player named Johnny Dawkins from the 80s spurs and Sixers.
I was a fan. Thought he would be a good nba player.
Yes!! Ty for this about time!!
This was my favorite player. I wore the high socks like him. He was my idol. Like him i wasn't the most explosive athlete. I couldn't jump high, run fast, but I had body control dexterity and smarts. MOTEN just FOUND a way to score. He just maximized all that he could. He was my HERO.
The early to mid 90s.... it was a good time for the college ball. Being from D.C. , the history always intrigued me. I love where I'm from. Just learning how to take the bitter with the sweet, learning about folks experiences. U never know what really goes on behind closed doors. Thank you for this insight. Love peace and respect.
Met him at the mall in Syracuse when he was in college when he was primetime. Wow back then I wouldn't have never thought he would be featured on stunted growth.
Guilty of wearing my socks like him after seeing him on Big Monday.
True
I think that's a DC thing
@@amancalledhawk5575 Definitely,Walt Williams wore his like that at Maryland
Same here chief frfr! Even wore the same number #21 too☝️✌️and my friend who died in the 96 flood wore #12!!!! ☝️🗣🙏💯✌️
Me too lol 😂
Poetry in Moten! One of the best college scorers of all time. Had battles against Kerry Kittles and the reason I wore my socks up tall!
wanna see the Terry dehare.. and Randy Woods From Lasalle Stunted Growth
I agree. His style was for the 80s..very smooth player. Buckets when the Big East was real...salute for this one.. another one might be..Terrance Morris Maryland
notice how he even wore his socks up to his knees like the 70s/80s players,lol
@@caininmilton8462 Yes sir. I appreciate these post..brings back a lot of memories
J.C. Stunted Growth big time salute for making my request a reality. 100% agree with your statement. As a east coast guy who’s lil brother was a huge SU fan I remember trying to explain to him why his favorite player was not getting run in the pros. I use to say he needed to be super wet with the J at the next level or he would struggle cause he had like a 1982 type of game in 1997. His game was more suited for a 6’8/6’9 ball player (James Worthy type). Still you have no idea how smooth the brother was unless you watched those games man. It was effortlessly for him. Much love and respect and keep up the great work.
Nice episode I think you should do Hollis price from Oklahoma in the early 2000s
him n Kerry Kittles had me rockin the long socks for a bit lol
Would love to see a story on Tyson Wheeler
It's crazy, when he played at Rhode island with Cuttino Mobley it was Wheeler getting most of the love. So interesting to see how things change.
"Never give it back "...damn that's a hell of a quote
People might miss that gem.
Just came across this and absolutely love ! As a SU grad, this was much-needed. How about Adrian Red Autry? He was that great big guard who could do it all.
Thank you for making these videos. You're opening a window into a period of basketball where a lot of players were hindered by the structure of the game at the time. I'm guessing a lot of younger fans are having light shed on forgotten players.
It's really wild to think about how many players would have been successful if the game shifted twenty five years earlier.
Thanks for this post and all of the others.
Do Kerry Kittles!!!
I remember him being the best player on the game Coach K in the mid-90s. He was the Jordan on that game.
I remember watching "Poetry in Moten".
I am a new sub. I’m not sure if you have ever done Corey Magette or Darius Miles. Both would be awesome
He used to come to our courts in hyattsville md. 38th ave to be exact. Dropping Big buckets
Great as usual.
I'm from and still live here in the cuse this brotha was nice.You should do one on Sherman Douglas.
JT Can you please do a video on Clemson pg ED SCOTT. he came out in 03, MCDONALDS ALL American Bj Mckie as well USC.
I loved those nineties UConn Syracuse games Ray Allen vs Lawrence Moten. He was mean
One of my favorites of all time since he was on my favorite team
Dope video man. Loved Moten . One of my favorite Grizzlies . Watched him live in action back in the day . Loved the socks and his smoothness. Wasn't the fastest but smooth man .
I think you should do a stunted
Growth on Damon Stoudamire next would be a good one just sayin thanks for the video can't wait till the next
Thank you so much!!
This was a decent piece you did on Sam. Did you know that his real sport was football, dude was Jerry Rice as a receiver and Ronnie Lott as a defensive back, but loved that roundball. One of the reasons he wasn't recruited that heavily was most scouts thought there was no way he wasn't going to play college football. His high school quarterback was Marvin Graves who was the QB at Syracuse while Sam was dropping numbers, but they could never convince him to put the pads on in college or Marvin Harrison would have trying to break his records!!! Keep doing what you are doing!!!
YES!!!!! Been asking and hoping for this for a minute..... THANK YOU SO MUCH JT!!!!
Stunted Growth keep the videos coming bro, have you done Antonio Mcdyess or Danny Manning?
My fav player growing up.
You’re the 🐐 for this ONE 💪🏾
One of my favorite Cuse players
Here from the knuckleheads interview with TMac. He said Moten was one of his favorite players to watch in high school 💯🔥
I remember when came on the scene @ SU. The high socks and smooth guy. Like the other brothers in the chat, I also rocked the high socks because of Moten.
Gotta do a stunted growth on Pearl Washington!!!
Wore 21, high socks, and my nickname was him in highschool lol wore the socks in college too.... Even tried to play at Syracuse right after him...... Ended up at Arkansas. Didn't realize that high socks make you look slower though..... Learned that later in life.... But that was my guy
You should do Michael Gbinje too, thought about him when I heard Syracuse
SALUTE for the cuse GREAT. WAS A BIG FAN.
Thanks for this video. I've been a Syracuse fan ever since. He was the MAN!!!!
Omg I requested this one months ago. Thanks bro!! I remember this dude being the coldest player on the game Coach K.
Moten and walt Williams my favor player ever
Every player on my 14 and under team wanted number 21 with long socks and put up numbers from the wing like Smooth is what we called him he's a D.C. basketball God 💯your the man for this one JC 💯
I remember watching him in college. He was smooth. A great scorer. Always wondered why he didn't make it big in the league.
Great take on my fellow Cuse alum.
Can you do a stunted growth on concepts, such as the decline of Jim Boeheim's 2-3 zone? Stunt #1) One and Done. Stunt #2) Transfer portal. Stunt #3) Bernie Fine. Stunt #4) Probation. Stunt #5) Stubborn coach. Love to see your take on this.
Moten lit Arkansas ' ass up in the 1995 NCAA tournament. He had game
I think he would be great in this era too with a good jump shot. There are a lot of dudes who are slower without an amazing first step but with size and craftiness they get by.
Can you do a stunted Growth on Todd Day
Damn, I forgot about him.
Update: He coached the two older Lawson brothers (K.J. and Dedric) to a state title as seniors, and is currently the head man at Philander Smith College in Little Rock.
Todd All Day was nice with Oliver Miller in the paint and Lee Mayberry. One of the best Arkansas teams.
@@toryou6 Yeah those Razorback teams was Good. cant for get about Scotty Thurman & Isiah Morris
Todd was smooth
Good call bro definitely a early 80's or late 70's style. Junior Bridgeman type of game
✊🏾💯
U right on that junior bridgeman
U gotta do a billy Owens one bro
Dude game was so smooth
Lawrence Moten was the sickest ever to come outta Syracuse..FACTS!!!
Wow. Never heard of him and he's 'Cute all time leading scorer. Wow.
NE DC represented! Grew up around the corner from him. Legendary in DC. Out mothers were cheerleaders together at McKinley Tech high
@Stunted Growth, Lawrence Moten is definitely a Legend in my book. My favorite college player all time. He is the reason I signed with Syracuse. Much love for Moten and the Cuse. I love your channel, keep up the good work. You really dig deep in the basketball history corners.✌🏽
Sam Spann! I remember you.
When will you do a Lloyd Daniels aka Sweet Pea vid? Thanks Sir
I think a story on Andrew Toney aka The Boston Strangler would be DOPE!
For Andrew Toney. Stunt #1: Broken foot. Stunt #2: Cheap owner Harold Katz.
AJ English the 2nd...Played at Virginia Union & drafted by the Washington Bullets & played for 2 seasons!!!
Bout time!!! #PoetryInMoten .Them socks tho! Kerry Kittles had the dopest sock game in history!
Walt the wizard Williams had sock game 2
Also Elliott Perry!
Kerry Kittles one high one low dope look, had game to match
@@CornbreadJenkins34 don’t forget the 🥽
@@CLK294 fo sho
Goat
Do A video on Malachi Richardson
One name comes to mind after watching this one... Hollis Price!!
You should do a Keith Veney from Marshall
Anyway you can do a stunted growth story on Earl Manigault
Those high socks were a DC streetball staple ... Walt Williams ... moten ... Sherman Douglas ... who else am I forgetting
You should do Marcus Haislip
I remember watching Lawrence Moton play in the Urban Coalition summer league in DC right after he graduated. Kenny Anderson and Allen Iverson were also playing. Moton had 25 pts and about 8 rebounds and was just being mercilessly tainted by the crowd for scoring like a white guy with 16-18 fly jump shots from the corner
Could you please do Corliss Williamson 🙏🏿
Played against him in high school and on the playground , certified tough
The Mcnamara kid from Cuse would be a good study case.
Im from the west but we love moten
My guy! Archbishop Carroll alum!
He was also a helluva football player (TE & Safety) in high school! 🏈🦁💯💪🏾
If you doing Moten you better do one on Billy Owens. Also John Wallace
Do Stacey Augmon next!!
U had to add him on coach k basketball on Sega genis
Lawrence Moten reminded me so much of Quincy Douby, except , without the range that Douby had (Quincy Douby another "Stunted Growth" profilee). Both were highly skilled, tall skinny and extremely slow guards, who can get off their shots in college. However, you knew both would struggle to get off those same quality shots in the pros, and more so, be even more of an extreme liability, on the defensive end. Just like Quincy, Lawrence deserves his props, for being one of the sickest guards, to ever come outta the Big East, when it was Eden. Peace to the god J.C. for another great "Stunted Growth" profile.
I bought a Syracuse winter jacket because of him
Easily my favourite Cuse player ever. Still blows my mind that he ended up as the Big East career scoring leader but never won a scoring title. I mean, how do you do that?
Can you guys do: Donald "Boom" Williams of UNC or Walt "The Wizard" Williams of U Of Maryland
Can you do a piece on Kareem Reid ?
Hey bro do one on scotty thurman from Arkansas championship team
The socks how i forget
i guessed your third stunted growth before you even said it. You can see that his game was more geared towards the 70s style of bball. Game just didnt translate to the 90s. Good video.
🔥 Well worth the wait thank you for this one as a kid i remember watching him cook always wanted to know why he didn't blow at the next lvl hell of a video 🔥 🔥 🔥
good stuff my man ppl forget about billy Owens tho
Right
BOUT TIME!
Imagine a conference with Lawrence Moten, Ray Allen, Kerry Kittles and Allen Iverson.. man the big east was stacked back then
Jermaine Jackson, current trainer for Melo Ball..he would make a great story..Charles Jones too of LIU...
Do Terry Dehere next please
great video as always! i would love to see a video on kyle singler
He made ppl in hood wanna wear their socks high. Dope choice JC. Salute
I've been waiting for months to see this video. I got into college basketball heavy in the mid 90's and Moten was one of the players that stood out to me super early. Along with Corliss Williamson, the O'Bannon brothers, Marcus Camby and Tim Duncan. So many great players in that era and Moten was a problem in Syracuse. Thank you Stunted Growth for this video 🙏🏾🙏🏾
From Syracuse he my favorite player of all time that went to Syracuse test wore my socks high because of him he was to small for the nba and unfortunately didn’t have to work ethic for the nba
Do bryant reeves and Michael dickerson
Oh shit! Me and him have the same birthday!
Yo he's my favorite college Hooper of all time. Just bought his jersey again few weeks ago. Had the smoothes Jumper ever never in a rush with his slow motion silky Jumper.
Moreno actually had really good ball handling skills however often is the case Where you are drafted has alot to do with your success. Had he got pick on much better team he could have very easy fill a 6 man position
@@originalbadonebeforepuff2328 the grizzlies ended a lot of players careers
He was such the average of the type player they went for back then , I thought he would have held on to the back of some team's bench for atleast 9 or 10 yrs though.
L-Mo was my guy….. Nice jumper with high socks 💪🏾💪🏾
He was so cold 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Larry Hughes would be nice.... these stories are FIRE
Larry would be a growth spurt episode. He was trash until they finally gave him minutes
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! This has always been the number one player I wanted to see an episode of and wondered what happened. He's nostalgia for my teens, he was an effortless silky smooth scorer, really a legend. Thanks!
